SUMMARY:Rimbala Classes for Seniors
DESCRIPTION:Rimbala is an evidence-based falls prevention program that uses music as the principle means of intervention. Based on the work of visionary Swiss composer Émile Jaques-Dalcroze\, Rimbala enjoys one of the highest falls prevention results in the world\, with a 54% reduction in falls for community-dwelling seniors. \nOlder adults improve their gait (walking style)\, mobility\, cognitive skills and social intelligence in a relaxed but joyous setting. The improvised music brings fresh neuroplastic experiences that improves the connection between the body and brain in ways that conventional exercise cannot. Because music is broadly distributed in the brain\, there is a hypothesis that gentle exercise with cognitive components can prevent participants from the ravages of dementia — including Alzheimer’s. \nFor more information\, please visit: www.rimbala.com \nClasses are held at: \nRosedale United Church 159 Roxborough Dr\, Toronto Wednesdays 11:30 AM-12:30 PM $20.00 per session \nand online at various times throughout the week. \nPlease contact Dr. Daniel Rubinoff: 416.709.8381 doctor.rimbala@gmail.com

SUMMARY:No Cause for Despair: Finding Holy Joy in the Midst of Secularization with Dr. Stefan Paas
DESCRIPTION:Does the deep secularization of western societies mean that God has disappeared\, or is it rather a path through which God leads the people to new discoveries\, a new dependence on grace? Join Dr. Stefan Paas\, author and expert on church planting and mission\, for the day as he explores faithful responses to secularization. Two talks and accompanying breakout sessions will include material from his book Pilgrims and Priests: Christian Mission in a Post-Christian Society. Drawing on a wide range of practical insight with mission in one of the most secular contexts of the West\, Dr. Paas blends his experience with a thorough analysis of relevant biblical\, historical\, sociological\, theological\, and spiritual sources that bear relevance to missional identity in the challenging circumstances presented by the secular West. He presents a hopeful perspective\, rooted in a realistic appraisal of reality and rich theological reflections. \nThe format of the day includes lectures and group work for participants in person or online (via Zoom) as well as lunch for those who gather in person at Timothy Eaton Memorial Church\, Toronto. \nIn person: $75 lunch and snacks included\nOnline: pay what you can (suggested amount $25)
